What was up with Kade’s guard passing?

In his match against Levi it seemed like Kade wasn’t attempting to do any technical passes. He would just walk into Levi’s guard and hope something happens.

He was on his knees in Levi’s half guard a lot without chest to chest connection, which is something I hear a lot of black belts preach against.

No attempts at trying to pass to the outside, no attempts at trying to create pressure and smash through the guard. Just a lot of lay and pray.

Same thing happened in his match against Diniz.

Is Kade’s guard passing underdeveloped or is Levi’s guard just that good?
